Live Free or Die Hard

Stuff blows up. Old people beat up young women. Computers are everywhere. Stuff blows up some more.

B+

Monster

This was a painful film that portrays the life of a prostitue turned seiral killer from an empathetic point of view. Excellent acting but I am not sure I enjoyed it at all. No rating since the film was well done but not fun.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I got this because both I'd heard it was good and I really liked Almost Famous. It was not as good as Almost Famous in my opinion, but if you like remenicing about the early 80's more then I do then you'd probably dig it. This film was aimed at the folks 10 years older then I.

Some funny parts and decent acting. Very interesting to see Sean Penn at that age.
This was a
B+ movie, entertaining but almost entierly forgetable (except for Jennifer Jason Leigh's portrial of a girl who knows what she does not know, decides to do something about it and pays the consequences

The Italian Job

So no deep people in this film and some bad acting (an unfortunate flubbing of a line I knew was going to be repeated eventually early is my main gripe) this film is interesting and has some great action sequences. Certainly worth a watch and it's actually pretty tame for a PG-13, I let me 9 year old watch it. Would have been a bit better if it had a twist at the end but oh well.

A-
